Unearthing the Scriptures: Exploring the Mysterious Gems of the Bible - 44 Manifestations of God

By Ogbe Ambassador Monday O.

The book - Unearthing the Scriptures: Exploring the Mysterious Gems of the Bible - 
44 Manifestations of God is about exploring the hidden gems or the mysterious gems of the bible. We will unfold these Bible Gems in this book and series of books in Bible Gems to Remember Series so that you can remember them and call them forth with ease, in summarized format for reference and most importantly for life application and Godly living.

The wisdom and the understanding embedded in scripture that can be harnessed for life and godliness are spread across the entire bible. They require the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to be bring them to light. Jesus said in John 16:13 - 

But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].

The question from the above text now arises, "If all truth as revealed in scripture or the bible as we know it today and everyone can and should understand them as we readily say, then why should the Holy Spirit come to lead us into ALL TRUTH?"
 
Are we saying there are other truths beyond the written word? Or the Holy Spirit will cause us to go deeper, granting wisdom and understanding in the hidden truth beyond the written word?

Let me give an example of a very interesting story Jesus shared to the crowed of followers and also to His disciples. The story was about a farmer who went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

The question from the above text now arises, "If all truth as revealed in scripture or the bible as we know it today and everyone can and should understand them as we readily say, then why should the Holy Spirit come to lead us into ALL TRUTH? "

Are we saying there are other truths beyond the written word? Or the Holy Spirit will cause us to go deeper, granting wisdom and understanding in the hidden truth beyond the written word?

Let me give an example of a very interesting story Jesus shared to the crowed of followers and also to His disciples. The story was about a farmer who went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear."

NON of them understood what this story was communicating. Until the disciples asked Him behind the scenes why He spoke to the people in parable and they also did not understand this story. And this is what He replied in Matthew 13:11 He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:

"Though seeing, they do not see;

though hearing, they do not hear or understand .

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

"‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;

you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;

they hardly hear with their ears,

and they have closed their eyes .

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their hearts

and turn, and I would heal them. ’

16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

In verse 18 to 23 He gives them the interpretation of what it means:

" Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it , the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart . This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time . When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it . This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

We can see from the above text that the word of God requires wisdom and understanding beyond the superficial. This book – "Unearthing the Scriptures: Exploring
